Actually I shouldn't laugh. I got a parking ticket a couple of days ago. Bloody money hungry Monash. I didn't think they were checking for parking permits through the holidays, not that there is a parking problem during the holidays, but I was obviously wrong. Lowsy lowlifes.

Haha! Nah, I'm a tall incredibly lanky bloke. That was one of my many gridgirl photos I took at Phillip Island at the end of last year.

Well, I was at Sandown as well and got even more gridgirl photos there too! Ah, the joys of being single!

I was there and I didn't see that! Although I was there when that photo was taken, he WAS clearly parked in a disable parking space.

At the time I thought it was ironic, considering you'd have to be mentally disabled to do that to a car...

well. considering the first one is the only one i've seen. My comments still stand

I agree with racingdork that we should leave the guy alone.. Cos technically, we can pick on anyone here..

Example, pick on people who removed their factory wing...

Now, some people like it, and some people hate it..

Its the same with this XT, some people will like it. some people will hate it.. obviously most people posting here hate it...

yeah ok, like the time a stuck a huge NISMO sticker on my bonnet
used: NOT.

when it comes down to it, if this guy wants to portray himself as a jackass then thats the way people are going to react to it.

on the topic of ricing out aussie cars... i see a VL turbo being able to pull it off without any dramas.

I'll just pick on the dropkick for parking in a Disabled zone while clearly not displaying a disabled sticker then. To me thats far worse than anything he could do to a BA XT anyhow. To bad for the para who has no where to park safely now. Just for that alone he needs a good kicking.

As for the rice.. IMHO it looks crap. If he see's my comment he can live with it. After buying an AU Series 1 Auto VCT I've learnt people need a bloody thick skin cause not everyone likes evey car. In my case I got it for all 4.. AU, Series 1, auto AND VCT. I got over it, so can he.

no one picks on people for removing the factory wing there was a discussion recently about wether it looks better on or off.

the only people that get picked on are those that do WHACK S_H_I_T like the BA guy.

I agree casper, the guy didn't have a disabled sticker, if they have them in qld? but it was certianly in a disabled zone. Not right, no matter what car it is.

I've always hated people who do that, t0ssers around my area do it all the time, or even worse, borrow a disabled tag from their parents or grandparents and use that to get free parking in the city all day. People never stop to think that they may need that parking spot one day, and when they do there'll be a w4nker like them parking in it illegally. But hey, it's a 'cool' thing to do apparently.

Yeah, its a sticker or a plate or something that has to be in clear view.

Thankfully there were at least two disable parks there, so the disabled person that parked next to him later on had a park too..

Can someone please get this guy a job in "Pimp My Ride" at least he'll get some Jap Craps to work on.

That poor Falcon. If I got my hands on it, it will be pulled straight apart and put all it standard parts back on. At least the other cars won't make fun of it.

As for you RaceDork. You make me sick for saying that it his car and he can do what he likes. He may as well sh1t all over the Australian Flag and marry George W. Bush.
